It is proposed to study various aspects of the theory of relativistic strings, which have the ultimate objective of a unified quantum theory of gravity and the other fundamental interactions. (1) Classical and quantum two dimensional world- sheet supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models will be used to study the low energy behavior of bosonic fields in string theories. (2) The superspace formulation of spacetime supersymmetry will be used to construct manifestly supersymmetric effective actions, allowing results of sigma model calculations to be extended to include fermions. (3) The BRST formalism for the covariant description of relativistic quantum field theories will be studied further.

建议研究的理论的各个方面， 相对论弦，它的最终目标是 引力的统一量子理论和其他基本理论 交互. (1)经典和量子二维世界- 片超对称非线性σ模型将被用来研究 弦理论中玻色子场的低能行为。 (2)时空超对称性的超空间表述将是 用来构造明显超对称的有效行为， 允许sigma模型计算的结果被扩展到 包括费米子。 (3)协变量的BRST形式 相对论量子场论的描述将是 进一步研究。
